And if his plaid shirt and over-the-top facial hair didn't make it clear enough, the SpaceNavy officer and his XO have a conversation in the second episode that seals the deal, about similar "old-timers" who ran wild in the early years of space travel, and now resent the advent of law in space.

The story has gained a pretty poor reputation over the years, not helped by the fact that it was produced in a deliberately paced manner like the previous year's ''[[{{ptitleh3elkyxdypyw}} 2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', which makes the storyline seem rather slow to modern viewers.
